The infill pattern is the parameter that determines how the 3D printer will fill the inside of the 3D printed model, meaning that if you were to cut the model open, you would see the infill pattern you have selected inside.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
While the infill pattern may not seem like a significant element, as it is not visible from the outside, the infill pattern you choose has a substantial impact on the durability of the model and the time it takes to print it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Today, we will take a deep look at one of the most widely used infill patterns in 3D printing, known as the gyroid infill pattern, which has a reputation for providing a considerable degree of strength and robustness to the model with its unique geometry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
So, what is the gyroid infill pattern in 3D printing?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The gyroid infill pattern is a wavy-looking pattern based on the gyroid surface, primarily known for being one of the strongest infill patterns in 3D printing that provide an equal amount of resistance across all directions while offering a reasonable strength-to-weight ratio.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Moving forward, we will analyze the gyroid infill pattern in more detail, find out the cases where it’s appropriate to use gyroid infill, discuss how strong this infill pattern is, and finally, take a quick look at the steps required to activate it in popular slicers such as Cura and PrusaSlicer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Table of Contents<\/p>\n
